What's the best way to get them to stop? I don't really want to acknowledge
receipt of the message as that could open up a whole can of worms.

You're wise not to respond to them. Instead, you should look for a spam
blocker, such as Spammer Slammer, or even the Pop3 Scan Mailbox. The filters
in those will help reduce the spam which reaches you and some programs will
even reply to the spammer informing them that your account has not received
the message. Their bots will then remove you from their spam list, when of
course, your e-mail address remains perfectly fine.
Ya, I got it too. Whatcha gonna do... it's just life in the big online
city these days. Just delete it and move on. I don't think this guy
is particularly malicious... just not very considerate of other forum
posters. He's obviously gleaning addresses from this NG and spamming
them. Such is life. I used to get all worked up about stuff like
this... but really, what's the point. Just delete it an move on. The
world is full of spamming morons, and always will be. Fact of life,
IMO. You cannot change it, so just adapt to it, ya know?
cheer up. It matters not.

Unless they use some method I'm not aware of, the only way to get a
spammer to "supposedly" remove you from their list is to give them your
correct email address to begin with. Of course, most spammers will then use
your verified email address and sell it to other spammers. I HIGHLY
recommend AGAINST EVER replying to spam. Don't let them know they've
"found" you.

Will make it easy for you to identify the appropriate addresses, formulate
on your behalf.
The spammer will almost certainly get his account pulled (not that this will
bother him because he'll just go get another "disposable" account to send
his stuff from...), sites with lax security on their mail relays will be
politely asked to sort themselfs out (and will run the risk of being
"blacklisted" if they fail to comply), and ISPs that get a lot of abuse
reports will, eventually tighten up their registration procedures to make
life more difficult for would-be-spammers.
